Gimps

Quoted from Mariner_09

To take 3200 to Gateshead on a bank holiday when it's on the telly is pretty fantastic away supprt really.

They took 2400. On a bank holiday makes it easier to get to.

Lincoln could confirm promotion this Saturday.

Lincoln v Macclesfield       BT Sport Live     ( 12:15 KO )

Probably give it a watch before setting off to watch Town at BP.

Even easier if you jump on a bandwagon to get there

Quoted from lukeo

Wish you all the best Helgy. I like the Cowley brothers and I don't see Lincoln as a fears rival ever since the bike ride we did all that time ago with their fans and the two charity football matches we played against you..

Enjoyed both the bike ride but mostly the matches. We did get hammered at yours 4-0 regular team didn't turn up to the away game think that was a running theme lol.

Quoted from Grim74

After all the success this season the gimps still showed how tin pot they really are yesterday, the Cowleys got carried away by thinking all these new fans were actually authentic and called for a 5000 strong away following to their big game at Gateshead 2.5 hours away.
Now considering the home gates they are now getting this was more than reasonable but have to say I nearly drunk myself with laughter when I see the gate of 3770, pretty embarrrasing hey helgy, did you even manage 2000? I tell you what these Cowley boys will be on their way at the end of the season to a proper club.

They averaged 600 we took 2400 ,suppose we will see in the summer on the take up of season tickets of what support we will retain.
Sold out for Saturday 9500 think Macc are bringing 100.

Very pleased to see them coming up. Will make for two great local derby's next season.

Also great to see the smug FGR chairman proved wrong about them winning the league this year in his highly ungracious interview after last years play off final. I hope Tranmere see them and their three thousand fans off in the play off final this year.

These tin pot outfits which are no more than executive toys for the super rich should have no place in the football league.

Will Lincoln outsell us in season ticket sales next season I wonder

Quite possibly,  if they keep their feel good factor they just might do it. But if they don't get off to a flying start their crowds will drop below ours as per normal.  Let's be honest, I think we took our eye off the ball on that one. Depending on comings and goings at our end as well.  I think there will be a few, so lets wait and see on that one.  I genuinely think that being back in the league they will sell all their tickets for our place.

Living here in Lincoln I think they will & would not be surprised if they sell 4000 plus. I have lived here for 40 years and never known this level of interest in the past even when they have had good teams under Taylor And Murphy, even big Keith.

Guys I played football with all those years ago who used to go once or twice a season now never miss a game and the Imps are the main topic of their conversations. They also say that they are surprised at how many women and families are attending and it looks like cup runs are the main ingredient for galvanizing an increase in support.

Lets face it we hardly ever got much above 60000 for play off games or big important home league games so their current attendances are pretty impressive.

Personally believe the Cowleys will stay another year and unlike PH he has committed to offereing new contracts to all players which will good for team morale and with a big budget for players they will be a threat next season.

Lets hope Russ can do the business as my visits to the pub will continue to be filled with stories of their beloved imps and I need some ammo to throw back and being above them in the league will help greatly!!

60,000????

Think it will be a mistake if Cowley goes with largely the same squad as this year, much bigger jump than I imagined thats for sure
